Dear Leader,
With just one month left in 2021, the Police1 editorial team is busy planning our “Year in Review” content, reflecting on the game changers for law enforcement this year.
In a recent poll, more than 1,000 Police1 readers chose their biggest challenges of 2021: recruitment and retention, officer wellness and morale, and media coverage of police issues. If your agency is struggling in those areas, here are some resources to assist you:
► Chief Michael Gancasz asks if workforce sharing could solve recruitment issues
► John Violanti, Ph.D., discusses how to build healthy, resilient officers
► Judy Pal outlines how to manage the media when crisis hits your hometown.
What challenges have you faced as a police leader in 2021? Share your experiences with editor@police1.com.
Stay safe,
— The Police1 Team
